I woke up the next morning and it felt like I was floating in the middle of an ocean.
I tried to recall everything that had happened last night, but my memory was quite blurry. With a sigh, I heaved myself up to a sitting position and looked around the room. I squinted at a little note on the table and next to it, was a fat bundle of cash. I dragged myself to it and the more pain I felt, the more I remembered the crazy sex I had last night. I could barely believe my eyes. Ten thousand dollars in cash! But that wasn’t the most intriguing thing about this morning, it was rather the thoughts of the perfectly built man that had fucked me mercilessly. I could almost feel his touch on my body, the cuffs that had bound my wrists felt so real once more, even though I was a free man once again. I put on my clothes, shoved the cash into both of my pockets and headed downstairs. Mark was right there, waiting for me with a smirk on his annoying face. “I am not giving you shit.” I said to him flatly. He gasped in surprise, “Why do you think that is all I want from you?” I glared at him, “Because that is what you always want from me.” I replied and walked past him. The bar wasn’t open yet and this made me glance back at him in surprise, “What the hell is the time?” “About six o’clock. You slept like a log of wood. I came in and saw your ass out in the open, filled with fucking semen, it was disgusting but I mean…I just couldn’t look away.” I grimaced at him and cringed badly, “What the fuck, man?” “I’m serious. I didn’t take a picture though, so like, you’re kind of safe,” he chuckled, “you did very well, Oli. The client was satisfied with your services. He is rarely satisfied.” I nodded to myself, not so proud, but at least I was grateful for the money in my pocket. “Whatever.” I replied, even though I was buzzing with excitement that I pleased such a hunk of a man, “I have to go now. I will report for work at noon. Is that good?” He grinned and just sat back. “You can take the whole day off, Oli. You have earned it.” I left the bar without another word and on my way back home, I received a notification that made me freeze right in the middle of the side walk. Someone nudged me forward and I blinked severally. Dear Mr. Sallow… What followed wasn’t the usual rejection, I got accepted into one of the companies I had applied to. And it was the biggest company of all! The EmpireSpark Ventures, which was a company owned by one of the richest families in the state; The Cheslyns. “Fuck!” I exclaimed with excitement and rushed home. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but I arrived home screaming my lungs out. I rushed into the bathroom, took a quick shower and was out in a less than ten minutes. I was breathing heavily as I emptied my wardrobe in search of my best outfit to put on. I stood in front of the small mirror beside my rickety bed and adjusted my tie. The only terrible thing about my outfit was my shoes. I stared at the cash I had dumped on my bed and scooped a few dollars into my pockets. I could get some new shoes just for this interview. I rushed to my mother’s room, she was still sleeping peacefully. Ruby must have gone to school by now, so I decided to write a note for her. I found an envelope on her disheveled desk and stuck a few notes into it, along with a letter instructing her to get my mother’s drugs when she was back from school. I was out of the house before seven thirty. My interview was by 8am and I rushed into the boutique opposite my house block. I got a nice, brown leather shoe for about forty dollars; the most expensive shit I literally had at that moment and I boarded a cab. I arrived at the headquarters of EmpireStark Ventures and at the glass, revolving doors, two hefty guards stopped me. In a haste, I brought out my phone and showed them the email. “Sorry, I am supposed to be in there in about two minutes.” I said and the guards grunted and parted the way for me. I rushed in and stopped at the receptionist desk, panting slightly as I struggled to catch my breath. The beautiful blonde stared at me hesitantly, “Sorry, you are here for?” I swallowed and took one last breath, “The internship interview. I got the email this morning and rushed here as soon as I-” “The boss is currently busy,” she cut in curtly and pointed at one of the waiting room benches, “you will have to wait there. I will inform him of your arrival.” “Thank you.” I said and sat down with a shaky smile. What if I was too late for this interview? The receptionist’s stare was so discouraging. After about twenty minutes, she snapped her fingers at me and I jerked off the seat immediately. “Last floor. It is the only office on that floor. You can’t miss it.” She said, “the boss will see you now.” She directed me to the elevator and on the way up, I couldn’t stop thinking about the weight that those words “the boss” had carried when she said it. Whoever was in charge of a dynasty this huge had to be a very powerful man. I watched the number of each floor light up and it made me tensed the farther up I went. The nervous ride came to a stop and the doors parted. It felt like I had just been led to hell’s gate. I found another receptionist desk right in front of a huge office and all the cold woman that sat there did was gesture to the office. I took a deep breath and walked into the office. The moment I set my eyes on the man behind the large mahogany desk, I froze instantly.It was him! I felt my dick hardening at the sight of him and I swallowed, but my throat was already parched. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was my last client who was the boss!He gestured to the seat opposite his table without looking up.I saw him squint at something and when I got closer, I noticed that it was my resume he was scanning through. “Oliver Sallow,” his husky voice cascaded into my ears and my insides curled, “tell me about yourself.”I read his name on the golden plate. Benjamin Cheslyn.He looked up and our eyes jammed for a few uncomfortable seconds. He knew it was me! I could tell by the split second of hesitation in his eyes. I was strung for words and could only stare at his beautifully sculpted lips. “Go on, will you?”I blinked with embarrassment and cleared my throat. “I was uhm, a business student. I loved the idea of communication and, marketing just sort of fascinated me.” His beautiful cognac eyes were like a setting sun. Oh, how handsome this god of a man was!He sat back on his chair, his gaze more inquisitive now, “And what do you find so fascinating about it?” “The logic behind it, I guess,” I replied nervously, “m
BENJAMIN'S POVThe garage doors slowly clasped into place behind me, stifling the heavy patters of rain on the asphalt, but I chose to remain in the car. My hands still gripped the wheel tightly, the leather crackling under my fingers. I was still plagued by the memories of what had happened today—the water pooling on the passenger's seat hadn't even dried yet.That particular night with Oliver had been one moment of loose thinking, a single "fuck it" decision that led me to saunter into that bar. Now, that very decision haunted me like a ghoul. I can't fully describe how I felt the exact moment I recognized the boy sitting across from me, but when I did, my heart sank to the base of my chest.I could have sworn Oliver was there to blackmail me for more money. If he was working in a place like that, then he definitely needed it.My throat dried instantly, and a flicker of recognition scurried past my eyes before I forced my mask into place, pretending I didn’t remember him. But I had
Oliver“Fucking storm,” I wedged my shoulders against the door, turned the knob and lifted the door a bit off the ground to avoid the irritating squeaks from the rusted hinges. My toes felt clammy from the amount of water that had soaked into my socks.I was immediately hit with the biting cold in the room, my eyes snapping toward the wall where the broken heater was. My damp clothes clung to me like a second skin, the dampness making the cold even worse.My eyes caught the puddle of water near the worn-out couch where my mother was resting. I sighed, yanked the bag off my shoulders and flung it toward the rickety table before pulling the metal bucket from the cabinet and placing it directly under the trajectory of the leaking roof.My mom snored lightly, snuggling the tattered blankets with her weary fingers, I adjusted the hem and placed a gentle kiss on her neck so I wouldn't wake her before moving toward my bedroom.“Oli?” I heard her call me.“Yes, ma?” I stopped by the verge of
Oliver“Kid?” I felt a gentle push on my shoulder and my eyes sprung apart, the sharp light refracting from the waxed floor hitting my eyes. I winced as I adjusted, careful not to wake Ruby who was sleeping on my lap.My eyes caught a white coat before they latched on to the doctor's face, “How is she?” My voice was a bit gruffy, even to me. My throat felt sore and rough like it had been sandpapered with grief and sorrow.“She is stable now, but we have to keep her overnight to ensure nothing happens again,” he looked more tired than I was and it made me wonder how many people who had been catered into this place with the same condition as my mom had made it out alive.I sniffled, wiping the grime off my face.“You need to go home and get some rest, you can come back tomorrow,” the doctor turned and left. I didn't want to leave but I had to go to work tomorrow…my eyes darted toward the large clock on the wall by the entrance/exit, it read 1:21 am…I had work today.“Shit,” I sighed an
OliverI slammed my chest repeatedly, trying to kickstart my lungs to function properly. I felt his large hands caress my back and rub gentle circles along my spine. It felt…calming which was strange because I barely knew him.I heaved, letting air swish down my throat, quickly swatting my eyes in Benjamin’s direction. He seemed to be immersed in a conversation with one of the women. For some reason, it made my stomach churn with a feeling I couldn't adequately describe, leaving a sour taste in my mouth.“Does that line actually work for you?” I quipped.“You'll be the judge of that, is it working?” He replied softly. I snorted, rolling my eyes in annoyance. I didn't know why it annoyed me how Benjamin openly flirted with the woman when there was nothing between us. I had just slept with the man once! And I was feeling entitled.I scoffed, shaking my head in disappointment with myself, interacting with my customers outside work was a rule I had made. But this was inevitable.“No matt
Oliver.My fingers trembled as I fingered the buttons of my shirt, forcing them into the tiny slits at the other end. It was a black see-through that left nothing to imagine: anyone who stared hard enough would see my defined muscles, rosebud of my nipples, the clefts of my abs and pecs, everything.Mark had gotten the shirt for me after I showed up to work in a button-up shirt that in his words reminded him of SpongeBob. He said I needed to look appealing and satisfy them before I even touched them so that it wouldn't last as long.I sighed and looked toward the door when I heard a scuffle, it was Ruby. Her arms were folded over her chest with bloodshot red eyes probably from how long she had been crying, puffy eyelids, and tear skid marks on her face.Her eyes slowly raked my entire frame, as if she was judging me. Ever since she had asked me that question and I failed to answer, I knew she had resolved in her mind that I was a sex worker.“I thought you had a job?” I could hear the
Oliver.“You’re late…again,” the clipped voice of the scowling woman greeted me. For obvious reasons, I preferred the older man when he was around because all he did was glare at me from the rim of his round glasses and shake his head with a disapproving sigh.I stumbled into the large office space, adjusting the strap that was digging into my shoulder, “I’m sor—”“Sorry, won't cut it this time,” she snapped causing me to halt by her desk just in front of the Benjamin's office. This was more serious than I had imagined. I pivoted in her direction, gliding along the waxed floor toward her.My body ached, assaulting me to go back to bed, the gentle throb in the back of my head pulsed steadily as a reminder that I didn't sleep well last night. I had tried to fall asleep after the client left but I was roughly shaken by someone else who said he had a client to service.As if that wasn't bad enough, I had to walk home when I realized there were no vehicles littering that part of town that
BENJAMINSeeing him just stand there and spew that nonsense from his mouth made me angry. I wanted to make him submit. I wanted to remind him who his boss was and who called the shots. I can vividly remember how his body writhed under my touch, how easy it was to draw out those lewd sounds from him.How he begged me not to stop as my dick pulsed in his tight hole. The way his head was thrown back in ecstacy and he tugged furiously at the chains restraining him from playing with himself. All those thoughts crossed my mind as he stood in front of me, and I wanted to hear him once again.I bit into his lower lip, hard enough to sting. He whimpered, cowering into my touch. I pushed my knee in between his shivering legs, prying them apart. They easily parted like soft bristles. I pressed my knee against his bulging pants, applying pressure on him. He groaned into the kiss, aching his back from the wall.I wedged his hands above his head with one hand, my other fingering his buttons hastily
